Commanders!
Amid heightened Cold War tensions, troops of Western democracies, such as the Royal Tank Regiment, stood ready to defend against a potential invasion by communist Eastern Bloc nations. Among the tanks that could have spearheaded the invading forces was the formidable T-72. However, in response, the British Army had its own champion, the Chieftain main battle tank. Join Richard “The Challenger” Cutland as he compares these legends and explores how they would have fared in a face-to-face confrontation.
Would the Chieftain, with its superior armor, take the crown, or could we see the T-72 run away with the champion title thanks to its agility and speed?
What do you think? Which of these two iconic vehicles would have stood a better chance on the battlefield? Do you agree with The Challenger’s assessment that a tank is only as good as its crew?
